Cloud Video Intelligence

Search and discover your media content with Cloud Video Intelligence

Precise Video Analysis

Google Cloud Video Intelligence makes videos searchable, and discoverable, by
extracting metadata with an easy to use REST API. You can now search every moment of
every video file in your catalog.
It quickly annotates videos stored in Google Cloud Storage, and
helps you identify key entities (nouns) within your video; and when they occur within the
video. Separate signal from noise, by retrieving relevant information within the entire video,
shot-by-shot, -or per frame.

Gather Insight from 20,000 Labels

Cloud Video Intelligence allows developers to extract actionable insights from
video files without requiring any machine learning or computer vision knowledge.
From our massive library of 20,000 labels, it automatically analyzes video content to
identify what entities are in your video content and when they appear. Cloud Video
Intelligence improves over time as new concepts are introduced and accuracy is improved.

Quickly Search Your Video Catalog

You can now search your video catalog the same way you search text documents.
Cloud Video Intelligence extracts metadata that can be used to index your video content
and make it easy to organize and search your video content. It also returns confidence
levels for each entity identified, so you can easily control and filter your content
for what’s most relevant.

Separate Signals from Noise

You can identify the presence of a signal buried in noise, by using shot detection to
distinguish scene changes within a video and discern only relevant entities at the
video, shot or frame level (e.g. Identify “dog” within a new scene).

Process and Store on Google Cloud Platform

You can select the region where processing will take place, choosing from any region
where Google Cloud Platform is available. You can also store your videos Google
Cloud Storage, which features a consistent API, low-latency, and speed across multiple
storage classes.

Supported Use Cases

Content Moderation

Identify when inappropriate content is being shown in a given
video. You can instantly conduct content moderation across petabytes of data and more
quickly and efficiently filter your content or user-generated content.

Media archives

create an indexed archive of your entire video library by using the
metadata from Cloud Video Intelligence. Ideal for mass media companies, Cloud Video
Intelligence can automatically analyze content and make the results immediately
accessible via the API.

Recommended content

Build a content recommendation engine with labels generated by
Cloud Video Intelligence and a user’s viewing history and preferences. This will
simplify content discovery for your users and guide them to the most relevant content
that they want.

Contextual Advertisements

You can identify appropriate locations in videos
to insert ads that are contextually relevant to the video content. This can be done by
matching the timeframe-specific labels of your video content with the content of your
advertisements.
